In this game each player will have 5 pieces on a 10 x 3 board. Initially the 10 pieces of the two players will be put on the first row of the board in an alternating fashion, the pieces should move from the left to right on the first row, and then from the right to left on the second row, and finally from the left to the right on the third row. The object of the game is to move all the pieces off the board. The players shall take turns to make a move, before moving, the player shall throw a set of 4 two sided throwing sticks to determine the number of steps to move, the player can move: 1 steps if 1 throwing stick faces up; 2 steps if 2 throwing sticks face up; 3 steps if 3 throwing sticks face up; 4 steps if 4 throwing sticks face up; 5 steps if no throwing sticks face up. A piece can move to an empty square or a square occupied by an opponent piece, in this case the two pieces switch positions. When two pieces of a player are adjacent to each other, those two pieces are safe and cannot be swapped. When 3 pieces are adjacent to each other, the pieces of another player cannot pass through them. The last 5 squares are special squares, a piece is always safe on a safe square and will not be swapped, the fourth last square is the water square, when a piece lands on it, it must start from the beginning again. An exact throw is needed to leave the board.
